Music Disc Crafter
Music Disc Crafter lets players craft music discs from materials that creepers would otherwise drop, on NeoForge for 1.21.1.
What it does
Creeper-dropped music discs can be crafted with the mod, using a set of materials that includes Disc Stal, Amethyst Shard, Disc Mall, Disc Mellohi, Nether Wart, Disc Ward, Disc 13, Raw Cod, Disc Cat, Disc Where, Oxeye Daisy and Disc Strad. Each recipe is built from several items, so the discs become a crafting goal rather than a drop only.
A new item, the Disc Template, is needed for some of these recipes. It can be obtained in two ways: from a trading librarian villager, and by smelting an existing music disc. The mod is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so its source code is open source and public.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, with 1.0.1 as the latest build, released on 2025-05-30 on the beta channel.
